Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to:
- The number of people
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The journey to the venue
- How easy it is to reach the spot
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What to tell us
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- The venue or postcode
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Rough numbers
- Any dietary needs or allergies
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so you can compare caterers fairly. Use our quote form.
A barbecue or other catering?
Compared with ordering takeaway, a barbecue becomes part of the event, with the smell drawing people over. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

For planners, venues and organisers

If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
